It's called the Java Desktop System (JDS), and is Sun's current X interface to Solaris. More Java in name than anything else. If you download the free Solaris I told you about, it comes with that and the copies I got even included a free version of Star Office, Sun's typically for-sale Office suite. It's gotten great reviews, including a reader's choice from Jason Brooks at eWeek who is usually a Sun basher and Lunix pumper.
